No, I'm perfectly willing to accept there are decent fans who love the game & respect others - I don't have a problem with that. I'd suggest that some of the other posters on this thread only serve to illustrate exactly what I'm sick to the back-teeth of.
Not nearly enough of the sort of fans you describe however - I've only encountered a small number like that & fewer still who won't give some form of recognition/legitamacy/justification/acceptance to the assholes & frankly, I've yet to see a team or authority who make much more than token-gestures towards controlling the animals.

Please keep them!
He is looking at a year of physiotherapy - possibly longer as the full extent of the nerve damage is hard to tell. He was bottled twice - in the hand & shoulder (they were going for his face!). Probably won't be able to work in a bar again, although the owner (unusually for Aberdeen licencees) is going to hold his job open for a long time.
This was the place - http://www.thetunnels.co.uk/
One of Aberdeen's few truly independant clubs, well-run & inclusive, decent & indeed pretty cool bouncers (who were outnumbered by @20 casuals), without the sort of discriminatory policies & drinks/football-promotion crap that ruin so many other places. Not normally a haunt of the football types at all.
Which makes it all the more galling as this normally minimal-trouble club is now probably going to face a licencing-board hearing as well.
Humped 4-1. What goes up must come down, and it's looking like we're on the down slide now.
Bit cryptic your answer. A good mate of mine who works in the Tunnels (indeed i've been to Pittodrie with him) and was attacked there just before xmas; i know his hand is fucked badly. Ain't seen him cos i live abroad, but it must be the same guy. Then again it's not too uncommon an incident either unfortunately.
His name was prefixed with psychedelic for a while. He won't thank me for reminding of that though
I know a few ex-casuals, and remember well the mid eighties when they truly were a huge group in Aberdeen. I always saw it a more a need to belong to something than anything more sinister, naturally following on from the Mod movement in Aberdeen. Violence was everywhere (Casuals v Tilly etc etc), and these were for the most part teenagers. Seems the hardcore never grew out of it though, bawbags.

Sorry about that, even tho its not my sport, you have my sympathies FWIW.
Yes, it is the same guy & it is pretty bad. Stomped to the ground - Tendons damaged too.
CCTV is involved so hopefully they will get somewhere with finding them.
Dunno about the club - Since the new owner took-over, the place has built-up a solid regular crowd & trouble (beyond the inevitable shambling drunks trying badly to throw a punch) rarely features IME. I didn't go there much under the previous owners tho. The closure of the ned-club across the Brae helped too - Licence problems, they apparently "forgot" to renew the late licence, which killed them. Been much nicer down there without them!
Yes, the 80's were probably the worst - I lived overlooking Market St for a while with a casuals bar next door & another over the road & was left for dead by a bunch of them on one occasion. Loads of other stories, back to the 76 "riot" even. Plenty of them still about & I work within spitting distance of Tilly. Little has changed there either I'm afraid.

Fat gay bloke 'ere...
It's quite a long thread and I can't read it all just yet so if this has been said before, I apologise.
No, I don't like it. It bores me and football on the TV in a bar or pub is the dumbest idea going. A load of blokes shouting at a television? What's all that about, then?
But I really cringe when new aquaintances, obviously bereft of any conversational skills open with, "So, what team do you support then?", the assumption being that as a) a man, b) from t'north of England then I must have a 'team'. Well, I don't, right?
"Hello, mate. So....what do you think about Gaping Gill? Better accessed from Bar Pot or wait until Bank Holidays for the bosun's chair?"
Oh, and people saying 'We' as in "We won away to Blackburn." No, I'm afraid that unless you were actually playing you did fuck all to influence the outcome. You are, in fact, a bit of an all round mug you fucking muppet.
Oh, and wearing your 'colours'. "Bloody hell, for a minute there I thought that big fat bloke with tits standing at the bar there...yes, him...well, I thought it was David Beckham, didn't I? He's got his shirt on and that. Yeah, I can see now."
(See also my theory that the shirt-with-a-name-on-it 'fan' does not want to BE that footballer. He wants to fuck him.)

Cheers, i think.
Next time you see him, slap his coupin and say you've been communicating with a mate of his in Denmark. Last time I saw him in summer he serenaded me and my missus with an Ivor Cutler tune on his banjo
He's hilarious!
I was staying in Sandilands not long a go, and it's not got much better either, you've a fair walk to the nearest newsagent now, as the rest are boarded up.
Football hoolies are fairly on the rise here in Denmark. A female friend, and huge Brondby fan, was threatened with a knife after the local derby recently, by Brondby casuals
Massive amount of coke going up their snooters as well, which just sends them right over the top.

What do the chinese like? They are a bit shit at football, what do they go mad for?
Football, but only foreign football on the telly; I have 5 televised games per weekend usually here. Generally facilities for playing football here are a bit crap due to the fact that usually China doesn't get that much rain, so there aren't many decent pitches, coupled with lack of landspace.
Basketball is a surprisingly huge game here, much bigger than football I'd say (in terms of people playing it). Go to any Uni campus and you'll see at least 10 simmultaneous games of basketball going on.
Ping pong is big but I'd say I see people playing basketball even more.

It's a time like this when all our thoughts must turn to the poor homosexual football fan, trapped between a community that doesn't understand them and bigots in the other who won't accept them, brings a tear to my eye.

it's still bollocks though.
That said, sat through an Aberdeen match the other night in the boozer with Halibut.
But that was more comedy than football.
